US proxies, measured in real time. State-accurate, not guessed.

For most of the internet's life a US IP was a US IP. That stopped being true. Somewhere around 25 to 27 states now require age verification to reach adult content, after the Supreme Court upheld Texas's law in 2025, and the exact count moves every few months as more take effect. Legal sports betting runs in 39 states, each fenced to its own borders by compliance-grade geolocation. Which state an address resolves to now decides what it can reach, inside a single country.

That makes state-accurate geolocation a real requirement rather than a nicety, and it is measurable from outside: our own checks see US services sort visitors by where the IP sits, not just by the country. For legitimate testing (does my state-by-state content gate behave, does my regional catalog render correctly in each market) a US address that resolves to the right state is the whole job. Where an operator uses geolocation to enforce a legal restriction, such as a sportsbook or an age wall, that enforcement looks past the IP on purpose, so we do not sell proxies to defeat it, and this page will not pretend otherwise.

US home internet runs through a handful of large networks: Comcast Xfinity and Charter Spectrum on cable, AT&T and Verizon on fiber, and Cox and others regionally. The fastest growing category is not any of those, though. It is fixed wireless, T-Mobile and Verizon selling home internet over the cellular network, and it now counts more than twenty million lines. That matters for proxies because fixed-wireless lines sit behind carrier-grade NAT by default, so many addresses that geolocate to a US home are shared gateways rather than one household. A US residential IP is not automatically the clean one-home footprint the label implies.

Our live measurement above shows the flip side. Unlike some markets, the free US pool is not piled into a single city or a single hosting company: it spreads across metros and carries a real share of consumer-network addresses alongside the datacenter ranges. That is a better starting point than most free pools, and it still is not a production footprint, which is what the dedicated residential, ISP and mobile options are for. Residential plans target down to the city, so a session can exit in the specific US metro a job needs.

On the legal side, US courts have generally protected the scraping of publicly available data, and drawn a hard line at circumventing access controls or crossing into a logged-in area. Our terms require you to stay on the right side of that line and of each site's own rules. We sell the US footprint; the responsibility for what runs through it is yours.
